Welcome to Aschaffenburg!
Aschaffenburg is a city of 71,000 people (2019) in Lower Franconia. It is the largest city in the Bavarian Lower Main region. Because of its location, it is often referred to as the gateway to the Spessart.
Aschaffenburg is a town in northwest Bavaria, Germany. The town of Aschaffenburg is not part of the district of Aschaffenburg, but is its administrative seat.
Aschaffenburg belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz for more than 800 years. The town is located at the westernmost border of Lower Franconia and separated from the central and eastern part of the Regierungsbezirk (administrative region) by the Spessart hills, whereas it opens towards the Rhine-Main plain in the west and north-west. Therefore, the inhabitants speak neither Bavarian nor East Franconian but rather a local version of Rhine Franconian.
